Cystic Fibrosis

What is Cystic Fibrosis?

Cystic fibrosis is a severe genetic medical condition causing serious damage to the digestive and respiratory systems. It is an inherited condition causing sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system. It results in lung infections and issues with digesting food. It affects the cells producing mucus, sweat, and digestive juices. But, in people who have genetic cystic fibrosis, there is a defective gene which causes secretions to become thick and sticky. It doesn’t function as usual and currently, there is no cure available. However, there are treatment options that help manage the condition, relieve the symptoms, and reduce the risk of complications. It assists in improving the life expectancy of an individual and quality of life. It leads to affecting other organs which are the pancreas, intestines, heart, immune system, liver, and sweat glands.
